Ok...so it's been a while.

Well it's been a while since I updated last. So this is the short version of what you missed...

Sick - Kenny still!!!

Lost to a really good Fort Payne team, but we looked rough doing it!! So now we are 3-2. Not something our team is used to...so Kenny had a difficult weekend dealing with it.

Ellie said I love you for the first time. It went something like this....She's sitting there and looks at us and says "I wove eww Frwench Frwie." Yes that's right...not I love you mommy or I love you daddy....She loves french fries! I can't blame her though...she's a girl after her mother's heart!!

Ellie still can't get rid of her cough so I take her to the Dr's office on Thursday. Dr. Cortopassi (best ped EVER!!) decides that all signs are leading to allergens and irritants in the air causing Bronchial Spasms...They gave her an inhaler and put her on breathing treatments. No child should have to do all that this early!!! She does a really good job with it and doesn't complain but it breaks my heart to sit there with her to do them! In addition to that Breathing treatments makes things worse before they get better!! Now she has puffy goopy eyes, thick runny nose, and a cough that sounds like she is hacking her head off!! Yesterday she literally slept more hours than she was awake....and this baby is normally up at 8:30 at the latest and only naps 1.5-2 hours. I can only imagine how bad she feels. Also she is now noticing when her nose is running (which is a good thing) and she comes running to you saying "Nose, Nose" while pointing at her face. I began laying out burp clothes so that she could just grab one when she needs it to wipe her nose. Then she wanted to take care of herself....she's such a big girl! LOVE HER SO MUCH!! If I had the sick days or Kenny didn't have to be at school for workouts, practice, and game today, I would have kept her at home....but alas that is not the case...

Friday night we won our Football game agains Brewer...We are now 4-2, but this week will be a HUGE week for us in preparing for our next game.

The first real cold front has moved through the south, and we woke up this morning to 40 degree weather...This weekend, while I was washing clothes, I realized that Ellie has hardly any clothes for cold weather. I told Kenny this weekend that we were going to HAVE to get her winter jacket and pants (Game Gear) ordered AND I HAVE to go buy her some warmer clothes. Last night Kenny was opening the mail and our insurance money came in...He opened the envelope and said "Did you say Ellie needed clothes?" I said "Yes, badly." He handed me the check and said here, put it in the bank and go shopping. GOD is soooo GOOD!! I don't know how we would have done it without that check! It's not a huge amount, but just enough...Just what we needed to accomplish that task. God knows and He provides!

Hopefully we will get a chance to visit the pumpkin patch soon and get great fall photos!!
